PHBA RECOGNIZES NWHA
The Palomino Horse Breeders
Association officially recognized the National Walking
Horse Association at PHBA's national convention in
Lexington, Kentucky, in March. NWHA, an organization
dedicated to the natural Walking Horse, has its
headquarters in Lexington.
The PHBA convention voted to
make Palominos contained in the NWHA Tracking Registry eligible
for the PHBA registry. Also, NWHA was specifically
nominally added to the list of equine associations whose
horses are eligible for recognition in the PHBA Palomino
Performance Program. This program awards PHBA points and
prizes to PHBA registered Palominos that compete in
non-PHBA shows. Interested Palomino Walking Horse owners
and exhibitors are encouraged to go to the PHBA website at
www.palominohba.com
Tennessean Richard Dunavant,
a member of both PHBA and NWHA and a supporter of the PHBA
measures, hopes to increase PHBA and NWHA membership and
registrations and to promote Palomino Walking Horses in
general. Dunavant also aspires to see Palomino classes in
NWHA-affiliated shows. Dunavant stated, " I am pleased
with the actions taken by PHBA in reaching out to the
National Walking Horse Association. Palomino Walking
Horses are not only beautiful but are among the best bred
naturally gaited horses. I hope more owners of these prize
horses will join and participate in PHBA."
The PHBA Golden Trails
Riding Program is also open to breed-registered Palomino
horses.

Rule Book
The previous issued 2008 Rule
Book has a statement missing. On page 22, Section 8.3
Shoeing Rules and Regulations item H was inadvertently
left out. Section H reads as follows: "Hoof Bands are
prohibited on horses in the show ring".
Please replace old page 22 with new page 22, which
includes item H regarding hoof bands in the show ring.
